Much more at link.  I doubt we'll get down to $2/gal by Nov (or ever again for that matter), but we seem to be finding new sources everyday, and they are rarely in an OPEC country or Russia.  It will surely help the economies of the West and hurt the economies of our enemies in Tehran, Caracas and Moscow.  On the negative side, more SUVs on the road.

What do our peak oil fanboys think of this?  Those threads were always funny.

I'm not obsessed with peak oil, I just enjoy making fun of the clowns that think it will inevitably end civilization as we know it.

Do we not like talking about good news?  Or maybe I poisoned the well too much?

[dead0man]

It's quite probable that only the 1% will be able to afford SUV's and obesity in 20 years, as 'muricans will be forced into smaller cars and more trips by foot/bike. Or is that not the kind of end civilization you are talking about?

Wouldn't that be a good thing?

One more time in English.

Yeah, I have no idea what you're trying to say.  I would certainly not be "pissed off" with fewer SUVs on the road and less fat people.  I really don't care if people are fat or not, but SUVs are a danger to me and everybody else.  The drivers of them (except for the very very few people who actually need them) are selfish asshats that, at best, are just driving them to be cool and at worse are driving them because "they want a big, tall vehicle because it's (supposedly) safer".

Ahhh, I get it now.  You're one of "those" people.  Enjoy your stereotypes sir!
